HIS REVENGE OR LOVE? 3
Over a month had passed since the two have been married and Laurence has been nothing but rude to her. Snapping at every chance he got and being angry with her all the time.
He hadn't once talked to her and tried to get his thoughts sorted. Every time he tried to Lance's lifeless face and the page from his diary came into his mind and his brain would stop working.
But Adella had never once complained, and bore everything with a smile thinking it was his frustration of work. His work was still being shifted from London to Singapore and he was really busy in that.
She walked into their room with a wide smile to greet him when she heard his voice. His back was turned to her, and he was talking to someone on the phone. She froze hearing his words and was shocked.
Laurence Lin
Please trust me baby. I swear I don't love her. I love you. And soon I am going to marry you. She isn't anyone in my life. She's temporary, You are permanent my love.
She walked to him and whispered slowly.
He turned to her and disconnected the call. He put his hands in the pocket and gave her a blank look.
Adella Snow
What is all this? Whom were you talking to?
Laurence Lin
To my girlfriend.
He said as if it wasn't a big deal.
Adella Snow
Stop joking Laurence
She said trying to convince herself. He smiled for a moment giving her momentary relief.
Laurence Lin
Why would I joke about this Adella?
Her smile fell but she did not budge.
Adella Snow
Really? Girlfriend? Come on Laurence. You are married to me.
She said and tried to turn, but his words stopped her.
Laurence Lin
So what? Adultery isn't a crime anymore.
He said with a casual shrug, and she gave him a hurt look for saying that.
Adella Snow
So what? I don't believe it was a girlfriend.
Laurence Lin
Then Don't. But it is the truth. She was my girlfriend. Natalie.
When he took a name she lost it.
Adella Snow
Why are you doing this Laurence? We have been married for a month now, and you haven't talked to me with love nor even looked at me. Always angry. But I never said anything thinking it to be your work frustration, but this is not funny Laurence.
She whispered the last part and lost his sense. He held her jaw
She shrugged off his hand and clutched his shirt from his chest area.
Laurence Lin
Yes it is not funny. It was never funny.
He yelled making her look at him wide-eyed.
Laurence Lin
Killing my brother was not funny.
He shouted making her heart beat loudly.
She whispered, but he was in another world.
Laurence Lin
He kept loving you like a madman, and you rejected him on his face. It was not funny.
She was confused and looked at him trying to understand what he was saying.
Laurence Lin
Hurting him to the extent that he committed suicide is not funny.
She looked lost. Tears started flowing from her eyes. He seemed to be in a trance.
Laurence Lin
He couldn't bear the pain and hurt of being rejected openly. You killed my brother.
He said and pushed her away from him. She lost her balance and fell on the bed with a thud. The accusation he put on revolving around her mind.
Adella Snow
He loved me? He never told me. I never knew he felt something like that for me. How can I reject him when I did not even know-
She suddenly stopped as she realized what he was talking about.
Adella Snow
I remember now what you are talking about. It was the day I got to know that you're coming back. I was very happy. Lance said he wanted to meet me. But before he could say something I told him, my feelings for you. I didn't want to hide it from him
She said and tears fell from her eyes nonstop.
Adella Snow
I thought he was shocked. He wasn't. He was hurt.
She whispered and closed her eyes.
Adella Snow
But he can't commit suicide. Lance wasn't weak. He knew his importance in my life. He knew I'll choose him over you in a heartbeat. He can't commit suicide because of this reason.
She sobbed and kept repeating over, and over again. Laurence looked lost. What if what she was saying was true and she never rejected him. Then why did Lance write all that.
He went out of the room which had started to suffocate him. He needed to clear his mind and know the truth.
The page from Lance's diary came back in his mind.
"She doesn't love me! She loves him. She loves Laurence. Adella loves my brother. She doesn't love me"
And now he realized that he had never written that she rejected him, or he wanted to die. But since it was the last thing he wrote in his diary before his death Laurence assumed it to be a suicide note.
He went to the only person who could help him right now. He knocked at his father's study and entered inside.
Laurence Lin
How did Lance die Dad?
He asked without beating around the bush making his father shocked.
Leonard Lin
Suddenly this?
He didn't know why Laurence was asking this after two years.
Laurence Lin
Please dad, I need to know this. What Happened that day?
His father sighed and closed his eyes as if recalling the day.
Leonard Lin
We went to the yearly conference, Me and Lance. He was coming back from there and crossing the road. Everything happened in a second. A big truck came towards him with great speed. He couldn't understand what was happening. And the next second the truck hit him, killing him on the spot.
Laurence stumbled and fell on the couch.
Laurence Lin
(He didn't commit suicide. My brother didn't commit suicide. I hurt my wife without any cause and reason)
He felt angered and disgusted with himself for hurting an innocent soul, which came out as form of tears and he sat there crying his heart out.
